Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

the same goal

As the commander-in-chief of the Red Army, the boss doesn't pay much attention to economic and government affairs.However, when it comes to the army under his command, he knows everything well.

After giving a long sigh to the chairman, he replied: "Old Mao, I have done a special study on the treatment of a series of soldiers of the National Defense Forces. If our Red Army soldiers are paid according to the treatment of soldiers of the National Defense Forces, the 40 oceans can only last for a month at most... "

The great man thoughtfully followed and said: "A monthly military salary of 40 yuan is 500 million yuan a year. And our government's fiscal revenue is so much that no matter how much we save, it will not be enough to use it."

"If things go on like this, if our tax revenue cannot be greatly increased, we will face two outcomes if we continue to defend Shaanxi: first, we will be forced to drastically reduce our military strength to keep it within the range that the government can afford. Second, No reduction in troops, but tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers will collapse completely because we have not paid military salaries for a long time...."

"Under China's environment, once we lose our army, the Shaanxi province occupied by our party will gradually be carved up by surrounding forces, and our party will gradually disappear from people's sight. Therefore, no matter which of the above situations If it happens, it will bring a devastating blow to our party."

Zhou Gong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Chairman, that is to say, in order for our party to continue to grow and develop, the only way to go is to cooperate with the National Defense Forces in an all-round way, form a coalition government, and jointly govern..."

The great man did not express his position, but replied in a personal tone: "I don't know if there is any other way to go. But, as far as I am concerned, after cooperating with the National Defense Forces and forming a coalition government, our Red Party members can Scatter to the whole country. Recruit party members openly and aboveboard.”

"As for the tens of thousands of Red Army in our hands, Commander-in-Chief Li said well. The army is the most important weapon of a country. No matter who is in power, it is impossible for the command to fall into the hands of a political party. Because the army belongs to the country. The army, not the army that serves a certain person, or even a certain party, unless the country is a one-party dictatorship."

"Speaking of this, including me, many people don't understand it as well as this young Commander-in-Chief Li..."

"Look at the National Defense Army. Although there are strong soldiers and millions of soldiers. However, according to what I have learned, Li Guosheng, the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, did not promote any personal cult or belief in the army. To ensure that the military is always in the hands of the state and does not become someone's private army."

When communicating with Li Guosheng, Zhou Gong, who had already started to be impulsive in his heart, no longer hesitated at this moment.

Immediately afterwards, he supported the great man: "Chairman, to be honest, I also very much agree with Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng's proposal."

"We are all party members. When we first joined the party, we also swore an oath in front of the party flag. For the prosperity of the country, we did not hesitate to throw our heads and sprinkle blood. Since we can even die, why should we only care about those honors?"

"Perhaps there are still many people in the party who want to use armed force to gain national power. But what I want to say now is that this idea is impossible to realize. If there is no National Defense Forces, the sudden emergence of a powerful army, only in the face of the national government forces time. We might still have that chance."

"However, in the face of a powerful national defense force. Our Red Army is like a flat boat in the sea. A huge wave may lead to the destruction of the entire army."

"Therefore, when the road to national power by force is not feasible, cooperating with the National Defense Forces to form a coalition government has become our only way out."

"To put it mildly, if we continue to defend Shaanxi with the [-] Red Army in our hands, it won't be long before our Red Army will become a warlord in the mouths of the Chinese people. A warlord who refuses to see the unity of the country and separates Shaanxi Province …”

The reason why the commander-in-chief would let the high-ranking warlord officials do nothing at the beginning was to take the initiative to join the Red Party and lead the troops to launch an uprising.The most important reason is that there are many Chinese Communists, and if they follow the national government, there will never be a way out.Therefore, in the eyes of the commander-in-chief, besides someone from Nanjing Jiang, what he hates the most are the major warlords in the country.

Now Zhou Gong actually told himself: If the Red Army does not accept the proposal of the National Defense Forces and continues to segregate Shaanxi Province, he will become a warlord in the hearts of the Chinese people. After that, his solemn face suddenly turned pale.

He said loudly to his two old partners: "What I hate the most in my life is the warlords who ruled all over the country apart from Lao Jiang. Our Red Army is a people's army, and it must not be misunderstood by the common people as a warlord army."

After finishing speaking, a free and easy smile quickly appeared on the commander-in-chief's face.

Facing the two old partners, he continued: "What I want to see most in my life is a prosperous and strong country. Although I haven't finally seen it, the actions of the National Defense Forces have given me hope. Now that you two have agreed, Of course I wouldn't object."

"Anyway, I've been a soldier for half my life. It's no big deal to retire and go home."

After smiling at the boss, the great man said: "Boss, you are in your prime, and your sword is not old, how can you retire so quickly... According to the understanding of our country's commander-in-chief Li Guosheng, once we agree to form a coalition government with the National Defense Forces, The minimum waiting for you is an army commander."

"You must know that the National Defense Army is not our Red Army with backward equipment. In the National Defense Army, a group army includes not only three field armies, but also an independent heavy artillery division, a tank division, and a mechanized guard division... plus other directly subordinate units, the total strength It directly reached an astonishing 25, which is much more powerful than the commander-in-chief of our Red Army...."

The unification of the opinions of the three giants in the Standing Committee means that this decision should not appear through the Standing Committee.

However, after the Long March, I witnessed that countless soldiers did not die on the battlefield, but died in various conspiracies.The commander-in-chief began to be full of scruples and precautions against those high-level members of the Standing Committee who had returned from the Soviet Union, and was deeply afraid that they would use some conspiracy to seize the commander-in-chief of the Red Party's supreme leadership.

The face that had just calmed down became serious again, and he reminded his two partners with frowning.

"Old Mao. Well, I'm worried that Wang* and those people will strongly oppose this matter. You know. They have the support of the Communist International behind them, and the Soviet government, the leading body of the Communist International, has a blood feud with the Wehrmacht. Once we disclose this news Get out. I'm afraid they'll use the Comintern behind us to blackmail us..."

"You know, whether in the army or in the government, there are still many party members and high-level officials who are full of illusions about the Communist International and the Soviet government. They believe that if our Chinese revolution is to succeed, we must get the support of the Communist International And the Soviet government worshiped it as a god."

Just when the great man's brows were furrowed, Duke Zhou unexpectedly showed a relaxed smile on his face.

Because, Zhou Gong held a secret document that Li Guosheng personally handed over to him.

These secret documents not only record a series of massacres and tragedies that Stalin caused in the Soviet Union in order to develop Soviet industry.It also records the conspiracies artificially created by Stalin in the Soviet Union in order to gain power.

Zhou Gong believed that as long as the contents of these documents were made public within the party, the glorious image of the Soviet Union's Big Brother in the hearts of comrades would immediately disappear completely.At the same time, comrades' admiration for the Soviet government and the Comintern will turn into fear.

Because, although the Soviet Union completed the transformation of the army, the whole transformation process was full of blood and terror.More importantly, after the transformation, the lives of ordinary people in the Soviet Union do not seem to be as good as everyone imagined.Still living in poverty and cold, people are starved to death every day.

You must know that most of the hundreds of thousands of party members are from rural areas.from the lowest level of the people.If the new government established with the help of the Soviet Union and the Communist International can't get rid of poverty, what's the point of making a revolution by yourself?

After handing a stack of documents in front of the two, Zhou Gong, who was always covered with a smile on his face, said confidently.

"Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, please take a look at this document first. It was given to me by Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng before I left. I believe that after this document is published, comrades will be completely disillusioned with the Communist International, and We can also take advantage of the situation to get rid of the shackles of the Communist International, get rid of the overlord of the Red Party International, and make people like Wang* lose their support."

Speaking of this, Duke Zhou seemed to have thought of something, and said slowly: "I seem to remember that Commander-in-Chief Li once mentioned in a secret letter to us a few years ago that although we are members of the Red Party, we are first and foremost a member of the Red Party." Chinese. Before doing anything, you must first consider whether this matter is beneficial to China and whether it violates China's interests..."

"I didn't quite understand it at the time, but after experiencing the anti-revolutionaries in the Soviet area and the rapid transformation of the leadership, I finally understood the meaning of this sentence. If we want to develop and grow domestically, we must have our own ideology, instead of relying solely on the so-called Communist International, in that case, even if we have the opportunity to govern in the future, it will only be a subsidiary organization under the Communist International, not a real independent country...."

Seeing that the two partners were attracted by the content of the document, Zhou Gong, who had already read the content of the document, continued.

"Before I saw the content of these documents, I always thought that the Soviet Union was our learning object. Even if we can't copy the Soviet Union's ruling experience, we can learn a lot from it..."

"However, now after reading these bloody data and conspiracies, I gradually began to understand that the successful experience of the Soviet Union is not applicable to us in China..."

At this moment, the great man who had read two of the documents suddenly sighed: "I never thought that the Soviet Union, which has always advertised itself in the Communist International, would be so sanctimonious. I can say with certainty that after these contents are made public, there will be It has caused an unprecedented earthquake in the party, and our party will also face a new reshuffle."

Immediately afterwards, the boss added: "I never thought that the Soviet Union's revolution would develop so bloodily. In order to prevent our party from continuing to follow the detours and wrong paths of the Soviet government, I think it is time for our party to reshuffle the cards." Not only that, we also need to revise some party constitutions and the direction of the party’s development. Because the current China is no longer suitable for us to seize the national power by force, we must make changes and complete national reunification peacefully.”

After a short period of contemplation, Zhou asked openly, "Chairman, what shall we do next?"

After the great man's eyes quickly shot out two sharp rays.Commanded in a cold tone.

"First select some things in the document that do not involve Soviet secrets, and print them as documents. Pass them within the party. As for the original documents, let all members of the political bureau read them first. After reading them, they will be classified as secret."

"I mean, let this matter be brewed in the party for a week in advance. A week later, we took advantage of the situation to hold an enlarged meeting of the political situation to reorganize the party constitution and the future direction of the party. At the same time, we also eliminated those ambitious people in the party. Out of the leadership."

The result was not beyond the expectations of the great man. When the news came, it immediately caused an uproar in the party.

Especially those party members and cadres who came back from the Soviet Union and often regarded themselves as the Communist International were isolated by everyone invisibly.Everyone looked at these people.Also full of strange colors, began to avoid them intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only that, at the moment inside the Red Party, no one mentions the Communist International anymore, saying that the Soviet Union is our big brother.

And Wang*, the leader of these people, after reading the documents Zhou Gong brought to him, he seemed to have suddenly aged several decades.Not only seldom show up in the party, even his confidants no longer hold interviews, and stay behind closed doors every day.

When the political situation expanded meeting a week later.Faced with tit-for-tat questions from senior military commanders, local government party members, and even other members of the political situation.These high-level Red Party leaders headed by Wang# and backed by the Communist International.Unsurprisingly, he withdrew from the leadership stage of the Red Party.At the same time, this meeting further confirmed Mao's leadership in the party.

In a burst of warm applause, the great man stood up from his seat.

Under everyone's gaze.Speaking with a strong Xiangtan accent, he said: "Comrades, with the continuous changes in the domestic situation, the various development phalanxes originally formulated by our party. Especially the one of seizing state power by force is no longer applicable."

"In order to complete the reunification of the country as soon as possible. We... Proposal: Form a coalition government with the National Defense Forces and various parties across the country to jointly govern and avoid war..."

"This is just the preliminary opinion of me, Vice Chairman Zhou, and the commander-in-chief. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them."

After the great man finished speaking, Duke Zhou stood up and said.

"Comrades, to be honest, I have rarely admired people in my life. However, since I went to the area under the jurisdiction of the National Defense Forces and saw the people under the National Defense Forces, I was deeply moved by the actions of the National Defense Forces, and I am full of commander-in-chief Li. admiration."

"Because the National Defense Forces have achieved things that we have not done. In the National Defense Forces' jurisdiction, their people live better than us, their soldiers are more effective than us, their industry and commerce are more developed than ours, and the common people are richer than us."

"Based on these, I think our party should learn from the National Defense Forces. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, I fully support the formation of a coalition government with the National Defense Forces, so that the people in our jurisdiction will become rich as soon as possible."

As a loyal supporter of the great man, the commander-in-chief then also stood up.

After scanning around his subordinates and colleagues, he said loudly: "I am a soldier, so I will explain my point of view from the perspective of a soldier. Before seeing and understanding the National Defense Forces, I always thought that our Red Army is the most powerful army in the country. But After watching the National Defense Army, I realized what a soldier is and what an army is. Compared with the National Defense Army, our Red Army is a complete local armed force, even inferior to the garrison under the National Defense Army."

"To say something that hurts everyone's self-confidence, if we pull our [-] Red Army out to fight the National Defense Army, we can't even win the opponent's main field division."

The boss ignored the expressions of dissatisfaction on the faces of the military commanders in front of him.

Facing everyone, he continued: "I will tell you another question."

"'Being a soldier is a matter of course.' This is a saying that everyone in China knows. You are all front-line army commanders. You should ask yourself: After the treatment of soldiers in the National Defense Forces has been thoroughly passed on in our Red Army, if we don't Issue military rings to the Red Army soldiers, can everyone still lead the troops?"

"In addition, let me tell you the truth, based on the current situation of our party, even if we continue to develop for ten years, we do not have enough funds to issue military rings to soldiers. Therefore, in order to prevent the Red Army from disbanding because there is no military ring, we The only way to go is to cooperate with the National Defense Forces, form a coalition government, and reorganize the National Defense Forces."

At this time, the great man stood up from his seat again and added: "I know that everyone has a lot of worries. Here, what I want to tell you is: After the establishment of the coalition government, our party still exists, and it will continue nationwide. Develop party members. Try to develop our party into the largest party in the country in the next year, and become the ruling party of the country through elections."

"Next, I have to say the last thing in my heart. I hope everyone can give up their prejudices and listen carefully."

"What was the purpose of joining the party when we joined the party, regardless of the danger to our lives, and following the party to start a revolution?"

"There is only one purpose, to make the country prosperous and strong, the common people have food to eat, and myself and my family will no longer live in starvation... For this goal, we don't even have to give up our own lives, why can't we give up those so-called vain names."

"Commander-in-Chief Li of the National Defense Forces said it well. Whether it is the National Defense Forces or our Red Party, we all have a common goal, which is to make the country prosperous and strong. Since the goals are the same, why can't we work together to achieve this goal?"

"There is a saying in China that goes, 'Brothers fight, fathers and sons fight'. Only when all parties and people in our country are truly united can our common goal be closer and closer to us." (To be continued) continued..)
